Review Summary

La Bête À Pain offers a bright and cozy atmosphere featuring a variety of fresh breads and standout pastries like the Paris Brest and lemon meringue tart, though overall experiences are often hindered by inconsistent product quality and small serving sizes. Reviews frequently point to significant issues with customer service, including long wait times, disengaged staff, and hygiene concerns, alongside feedback that some savory items like the ham and cheese sandwich are poorly prepared or lack proper ingredients. While the bakery is appreciated as a convenient local spot for artisanal bread, customers suggest that attention to food consistency, kitchen hours, and service professionalism is necessary to meet expectations.

Très belle endroit. C'est très grand comparativement à celle sur Fleury. Je trouve par contre qu'il n'avait pas autant de choix. Sinon j'adore cette boulangerie

Mauvais. Juste mauvais. Avec la panoplie de boulangeries qui existent à Montréal, sauver vous le détour. Une brioche à la canelle qui manque de canelle, une chocolatine qui manque de chocolat & un américano qui manque de café. Forte impression de s'avoir fait donner les restants de la veille.

Nice café. There's a variation of fresh food. But they're lacking something every time I'm there. Once it was cream, then it was filtered coffee, etc. The spot is nice, we'll sunlit & cosy.

I've been a longtime client of this establishment on Fleury Street & came in this morning with high hopes.

I ordered a ham & cheese croissant & a café latte. After waiting several minutes, I asked where I should wait for my order, but no one seemed able to give me an answer. Several customers were served before me, despite having ordered after I did.

I understand that new businesses often have a few issues to work through, but the real problem here was the lack of customer service. The staff appeared disengaged & uninterested.

Most concerning, the employee who eventually prepared my order was using her cellphone moments before handling food. Seeing someone touch their phone & then prepare food is both unprofessional & unhygienic.

I hope these issues are addressed, as there is clearly room for improvement.

Nice bakery, although the service was very slow & the croissant/ham sandwich which l ordered had very little croissant to hold it together. ( Rather messy eating..)It was also overcooked..

Ok went today, & the cappuccino was tiny, the latte was tiny, & the hot chocolate my friend didn't like. The almond croissant was way too sweet as was the regular croissant. The lemon Meringue tart was delicious as was the Paris Brest. Maybe you get more coffee in a take away paper cup, but sincerely these cups are way too small to enjoy a decent coffee. The baguette is delicious as are the other breads.
